Such a frustrating disappointment
Fantastic!
Awesome Movie
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
GO GOA GONE comes across more as an adventure flick than a conventional horror film. Sure, it has its share of violence and gore, besides some cuss words, rave party et al, but the fun quotient is smartly integrated in the screenplay and what comes across is crazy, madcap amusement. Raj and DK are enthused by Hollywood movies and there's no denying that GO GOA GONE is a film with Hollywood sensibilities. But the best part is that the film never gets dark or depressing. The wit and humor, generously interwoven in the narrative, keeps you smiling all through, despite the blood and gore. On the whole, GO GOA GONE is experimental since something like this has never been attempted earlier. But it's fun, witty, amusing and yes, thoroughly entertaining. The youngistaan is sure to love this mad, mad, mad ride!
Another boring Hollywood wanna-be cliché Indian attempt. This movie has no plot, no twist, and no story. Very boring and predictable scenes with unnecessary vulgarity and ridiculous sexual remarks that makes you feel sick. I don't know why Indian cinema thinks that by bringing more sexuality and vulgarity they are going to be more like Hollywood. I don't know why Saif would even agree to part take in such a childish movie. My suggestion: Don't waste your time if you wanna watch something decent. The only good parts are in the trailer, other than that its a boring silly little movie.Doesn't deserve more than 4 stars.
Comparing Bollywood movies having previously executed foreign concepts have lately become a critical norm. As soon as the first trailer came through, critics compared Go Goa Gone with popular Hollywood zombie flicks; more resonantly, Zombieland. While watching the dual directorial effort, the movie did not resemble Zombieland at all, though some scenes seemed a tad bit familiar to Shaun of the Dead (which itself was a comedic take on Romero's Zombie titles). The movie was a breeze to watch and some scenes actually reeked originality with context to humor and wit, along with a previously unseen Grindhouse approach (restricted to zombies) in Indian cinemas. The three leads where effective with Kunal Khemu walking away with the best lines. Vir Das was OK. Anand Tiwari as Bunny was a revelation. Tagging along with the trio, Saif Ali Khan stood on firm ground as Borris (the trailers teased resemblance to Tallahassee of Zombieland).The Zombie concept remained status-quo but some scenes spurned comical twists which seemed fresh and out of the box.Overall, my preconceptions about this movie being derivative and unoriginal were pleasantly overthrown. Good direction and plenty of laughs more than made up for the reluctance of the script to break new grounds.8/10 for me.
It is extremely astonishing that Indian film-makers are now making movies with entirely different story-lines, hoping to appeal to the audiences with varying tastes in films. This film is surely gonna be loved by many indians, even those who are aversive to such themes when a Hollywood movie is played. Zombie-theme is not a very favorable one to many, believing it to be just another add-on to the sci-fi cult. There have been plenty of such movies made in west, like Zombieland, Resident Evil series, to name but few. Anyone before watching this movie would have definitely thought that such story-themes can NEVER be made in India, by any Indian film maker. Not only Zombie-film, making any sci-fi film in India comes with great risks as audience is not yet ready for such films. Only a handful of people, mainly younger generations would love to watch a sci-fi film.Go to any theater playing the latest Star Trek movie and you would find few groups of guys sitting here n there in the theater, few loners, most of them wearing specs, and rarely a couple would be seen, and a whole family is rarest to find. Such has been the taste of Indian audience even in current times when sci-fi cult has grown hugely in west. How can one imagine to have a zombie movie then in an Indian theater? But Go Goa Gone has startled everyone's assumptions and imaginations. Purely a Zombie-based theme, a sci-fi element that a drug would damage most part of the brain making the survivors Zombies, and the rest being the similar masala from any such western counterpart. The movie could be a bit predictable to those who have watched many such movies as various scenes and screenplay seemed to be copied from various sources. Originality was lacking in the movie, the characterizations and the similar scenarios are very commonly seen in any such sci-fi movie; whether a group of young adults is stuck at an island surrounded by zombies, or surviving the attack from a monstrous-mutant animal, or survival from the spread of a virus, or escaping from an alien etc etc. But as with western movies, though scenarios are common and predictable, but what attracts the audience in them is a new story-line different from the previous ones, along with new elements of technology.Out of few sci-fi's made in India, like Koi Mil Gaya.., Ra.One, (also including few non-Hindi films like Robot etc) this definitely provides a very unique story-line and theme, never seen and expected in Bollywood. Indian audience is definitely going to get a surprise in this movie and complete entertainment included. I am sure people from all classes are going to like this movie, despite its first-time presented theme which would be novel to several Indians.This movie is definitely going to set a new trend in film-making, and may be we will get to see an Indian version of Species, Aliens, LOTR etc in the near future.The film has very nice dialogues, with beautiful cinematography, few of them are gonna become classic scenes. Saif's make-up is very apt for a movie like this, and he has shown mature acting. Kunal's dialogues and his role would become favorite of many, there has been the use of abusive language also. There are no sensuous scenes, but in a movie like this at least 1 or 2 could be added. May be the directors were intending to make it suitable for family watching, and also slang seems more acceptable than a sex-scene. And as a result the girl, Puja, was not shown in a glamorous way, though she is hot and cute. This has made the movie content-focused, and more footage has been given to the survival from zombies. All three young male actors have acted brilliantly.I have given a rating of 8/10 because of some commonalities with Western movies.A MUST WATCH, even you would love to watch it the second time.
